Customers wanting to add thermal imaging capabilities to their smartphones now have a means to do so with the CompactPRO, the first in a line of miniature add-on IR cameras.

According to maker Seek Thermal the CompactPRO is the first thermal imaging camera built for smartphone use to feature 76800 measurement pixels and a 320x240 thermal sensor array. The device weighs just 14g and it simply plugs in the smartphone in question.

A companion app providing a choice of thermal levels, different colour palettes, a choice of 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios and 7 user modes.

"If we can make it more affordable to find problems faster and easier with high performance imaging quality in portable size devices, we are succeeding at our mission," Seek Thermal says. "Our aim is to fit everyone’s budget and put smart tools into the hands of more people who can really use it."

The CompactPRO is compatible with both iPhones and Android handsets, and is available now.
